BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The following includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art nor material to the presently described or claimed inventions, nor that any publication or document that is specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to the field of engines and more specifically relates to engines and valve systems.

2. Description of Related Art

In internal combustion engines the amount of power developed by the engine and the fuel efficiency of the engine can be controlled by the timing of the intake and exhaust valves. There have been many inventions directed to altering the timing of intake and exhaust valves associated with internal combustion engines by adjusting the drive relationship between the engine's crankshaft which is driven by the pistons and the cam shaft on which cams are mounted for controlling the opening and closing of the valves by way of valve lifters or valve stems. As engine efficiencies can be increased if the intake and exhaust valves are varied in direct relationship to the engine speed there have been numerous inventions also directed to altering the effective time of compression of a fuel change or in direct response to the engine throttle controls or to the speed of the engine's crankshaft. By varying either the positioning of a cam relative to a cam shaft or by utilizing variable nose cams to increase the effective operable width of the cam during its rotation, variations in the valve opening duration can be achieved. A suitable solution for timing is desired.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,803,042 to Cesare Bortone relates to valves and valve timing for an internal combustion engine. The described valves and valve timing for the internal combustion engine includes an exhaust valve assembly of an internal combustion engine which selectively covers an exhaust manifold circumferentially located about a top wall of a cylinder without interfering with segments of a piston. The exhaust valve assembly includes a ring-shaped portion of a cylinder lining which is configured to selectively obstruct air from escaping radially from the top of the cylinder. An intake valve assembly is provided on a cylinder head and has a ring or washer shape. The timing of both valves is facilitated by a single spring and induction and exhaust gear-like planar timing bearings. The valving and timing arrangement facilitate the flexibility of the design of a combustion chamber.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

As discussed above, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to engines and more particularly to a valve timing system as used to improve the efficiency and effective use of valve systems.

Generally speaking, in this mechanism is installed a gear and bearing mount with a certain diameter on the engine crankcase. This gear is of the same diameter and thickness and is in communication with the crankshaft gear, so that the bearing and gear may be mounted on a fixed base bottom plate. The gear includes, a relatively thin steel plate included on one point of this circular plate, at the greatest distance from its center, is a short cylindrical journal, which has an OD equal to the inside of the hole at the beginning of each rod fitted with a bushing. The journal extends outwardly from the steel plate to a distance slightly greater than the thickness of at least two rods.

The other end of each rod also has a hole (aperture) with a bushing fitted into its initial hole, placed on a journal affixed to a plate coupled a gear with a circular diameter equal to the bottom gear diameter. These gears may be mounted to the cylinder head in a similar fashion as the lower gear mounted in the crankcase. However, each journal affixed to the plates coupled the gears may be configured to receive only one rod end and may also extend outwardly from the plate a greater distance for clearance purposes.

Each of the small gears coupled to the bearing mounted to the cylinder head is in communication with another gear whose diameter is exactly twice that of the two gears that include a rotary plate having the journal. The larger gear, with the same gear mechanism, is coupled to a shaft traversing through a bearing and the bearing mount may be fixed to the cylinder head. From the center of the back of this gear, is a passage through the back of the bearing, and then to the center of a plate coupled to the shaft, The center of a rotating plate enters its own diameter in front of itself, on the other side and above the cylinder in the same direction, and enters the back of the bearing and the base of the plate, which is called the grooved plate.

The the groove, which is located at the furthest point of the center of its circle, a narrow groove with a 360-degree angle and the groove is for the valve stem to connect into it. In one part of this groove, is a curved down and gentle slope. The valve is located next to this plate and the valve stem includes a hook that is inserted at a 90° angle into the groove. As the grooved plate rotates the groove in the curved curvature facing the valve, it pushes the valve stem and the valve downwards, thereby ‘opening’ the valve, so from the end of the desired stage in the combustion chamber, the rotating groove plate drives the hook on the valve stem into the normal section of the plate groove, in which case the valve ‘closes’. Furthermore, as in some current 4-stroke engines, with each cylinder having 4 or more valves, this valve train system, and the adjacent hook valve has a non-hooked valve that connects to the grooved valve with one axis and simultaneously with the hooked valve up and down similar to the same for the other valves.
